An expression of heritage and culture
Mar 2021
The Millennium Cross is one of Skopje's expressions and dedication to their Christian heritage. Its size and scale are impressive. Its located outside of the city center, but in a small suburb area that is very residential and nice.
Its a nice attraction to visit while in Skopje and connects you to the Macedonian people through their culture and heritage.

Lights up the city skies
Aug 2020 • Friends
This is the first and last thing we saw while in Skopje. From our approach on the plane, till taking off on the way out, it lights up the sky. It can also be seen from pretty much anywhere in the city, and adds to a really charming city.

Disappointing
Feb 2020 • Friends
25a is the free bus up to the base of cable car. 100 den (£1) return trip per adult. Views were breathtaking on the cable car. At the top what a mess. Yes views are beautiful but these are detracted from but the immense grot. A good tidy up is desperately needed.
Cable car down was again lovely, but bus trip back to Skopje was hideous. Too many people pushing and shoving so the bus was totally overloaded and left us uneasy but we couldn’t get off even if we tried! Wait by the end of the car park for a taxi is my advice! Don’t get off the cable car either!!

Fantastic view and outdoor experience 🙏
So many people here who are enjoy the sunny weather and playground for the kids. There’s a kiosk here wherevyou can by some snacks and something to drink. You can take the cablecar up and down if you want or just oneway ticket. It’s cheap, 200 denar for two bothway. Enjoy your stay 👌😊

Great view
Jan 2020
Great view over the mountains and the city of Skopje. The cable car was nice and clean and it was nice way to reach the Millennium Cross. Nice cafe on the top, only minus was that there were no toilets.

Metered taxi from city center costs 270-300 denars
Dec 2019
I was very lucky the first taxi I found from city center went by meter. Even with traffic from the center to cable car, the cost was only 270 denars. Since it was nearing sunset in winter time, i didn’t want to wait for bus 60. But coming back down, you can take bus 60 for only 50 denars. I saw people pay by cash. Coming down, I was tempted to take a taxi to go back. But the driver quoted 500 denars citing “traffic” and later offered to go on the meter when i said no, but seeing how outrageous he had been overquoting, i didn’t trust him even with the meter, so I just want to take the bus.

It is nice view of the city, cheap cable car to the top but I am sure there could be some toilets provided on the top if there is a bar/shop on the top.
